Land






The construction site at the bottom of my road is two years into the build of a fairly big housing estate, on the site of a semi-conductor manufacturing factory.  I usually photograph the work in progress, the point of transformation, with its debris, the heaps of earth and rubble and general organised chaos, but today I went to photograph the completed houses, many of which are already occupied.  Strangely I was just as apprehensive simply walking down those brand new streets as when scaling a fence on the other side where there's no-one around, and after about ten minutes someone appeared from one of the houses, 'what are you doing?', 'what are you taking pictures for?'.  He came up behind me just as I was having a total fail on the auto-focus.
